Compelling Reasons to Choose The Millar Law Firm as Your Car Accident Attorneys 

If you’ve been in a serious car accident, you need legal help. At The Millar Law Firm, we understand how overwhelming a car accident can be. Here are some key reasons to choose The Millar Law Firm as your legal accident representative. 

Recovering Maximum Damages 

After a car accident, you may be entitled to receive compensation for your current injuries, lost wages, pain and suffering, and emotional trauma. You may also be entitled to future damages if any of your injuries require care later. 

Just because you seem to be healthy now does not mean you won’t need more surgery or miss work in a year or two. The Millar Law Firm want to be certain your future needs as well as your current ones are covered by your settlement. 

Protecting Your Settlement Funds 

You may have heard that health insurance companies get “paid back” after an accident claim settles. This process is called “subrogation,” and can allow doctors to treat you without payment and then take the funds out of any settlement later. Not all insurance or healthcare provider claims are equally valid. Georgia’s “make whole doctrine” may not require reimbursement to health insurance companies. 

Finding Your UM/UIM Coverage 

Your insurance company should tell you whether you have uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage and let you opt out when you buy insurance. Many drivers don’t realize they have this coverage. UM/UIM coverage protects you when the other driver doesn’t have insurance. Our attorneys always check to see if you’ve been paying for it and didn’t realize it. 

The Millar Law Firm reviews all liens and subrogation claims to determine if they are enforceable under Georgia law. We work to keep you as much of your settlement as possible 

What The Millar Law Firm Will Do For You When You Choose us as Your Car Accident Attorneys 

When you choose The Millar Law Firm, we will take your case from start to finish. We do our very best to get you the compensation you deserve for your injuries by treating each case as though it were going to trial. 

Investigate 

Our attorneys will review the facts about the accident. We look at photos, review the police reports and doctor’s notes. We talk to witnesses and evaluate their statements. If necessary, we can obtain CCTV and police body cam video.  

Your case file will contain proof of medical expenses, lost wages, household expenses, and other financial data you need to prove your case. 

Negotiate 

The Millar Law Firm talks to the insurance company and their lawyers, so you don’t have to. Once we have all the information, we send a demand letter to the insurance company, backed up with the evidence we’ve collected. We know what you need for compensation, and we’ll do whatever it takes to get the other side to agree. 

Litigate 

When all else fails, The Millar Law Firm is prepared to take your claim to court. Litigation is a last resort. It’s time consuming and can be expensive. However, you won’t pay us until you win. We work on a contingency fee basis, and you pay nothing out of pocket. 

With more than 30 years’ experience fighting and winning cases, opposing legal teams rarely take us to court. They know our record of success. 

FAQs about Morrow Car Accident Claims 

The Millar Law Firm has some replies to common questions that may help you after a car crash. 

Will I Ruin a Person’s Life if I Sue Them for a Car Accident? 

You are unlikely to “ruin” a person’s life if you sue them for a car accident. You are suing the insurance company, not the person directly. If they are found liable and must pay a portion out of pocket, they could see a serious financial impact. 

If the At-Fault Driver was Operating a Company Vehicle, Who is Sued, the Employer or the Driver? 

If the at-fault driver was operating a company vehicle, such as a truck or a delivery van, you can sue the driver and the company. Most commercial insurance covers the driver while they are working, as long as the driver was “acting within the scope of employment.” This means the driver must have been on company time and performing company-sanctioned duties. 

Who is Liable if the At-Fault Driver Works for Uber, Lyft, or DoorDash? 

If the at-fault driver drives for a rideshare or delivery service, you would file a claim against the driver’s insurance first. However, because of current rideshare laws, Uber and Lyft must carry insurance for damages and injuries caused by drivers depending on whether they were actively logged into the app. 

Rideshare insurance laws are very complicated. If you’re involved in an accident with an Uber, Lyft, or DoorDash driver, you should speak with an attorney at once. 

What are Your Options if the At-Fault Driver Is Uninsured? 

If the at-fault driver is uninsured, you can file a claim on your own insurance using the UM/UIM portion of your policy, if you have one. Your attorney will check your insurance to see if you have UM/UIM coverage. 

If you don’t have this insurance, your other option is to sue the at-fault driver personally and see if you can recover anything. Your attorney will discuss the options with you. 

Can You Sue an At-Fault Driver if the Accident Damages are Above Their Policy Limits? 

Yes, in Georgia you can sue the at-fault driver if their policy does not cover the accident damages. However, if their assets will not cover the claim amount, you will not be able to recover the full settlement amount.
